FAQs

Can I have an awning on my bungalow?
It is possible to install an awning on a single-story true bungalow, using specialist spreader plates to affix the awning to the wall. A comprehensive technical survey will be carried out before installation and you can talk over your options with your expert designer during this time.

Can I have an awning installed onto a conservatory or sunroom?
No, due to awnings requiring brickwork to affix to, you cannot have an awning installed onto a conservatory or sunroom.

Will it be necessary to move any pipework or guttering to fit the awning?
No, if there is any pipework or guttering where an awning is to be installed, we can use specialist parts to fit around obstacles, such as drain pipes, or uneven walls.

What does a sun sensor do?
A sun sensor will detect when the sun is shining and will automatically open out your awning to provide shade. This is particularly helpful during the summer, as it ensures a cool and shaded area in advance of your requirement. All sensors should be deactivated and the awning retracted if you are not at home.

Will the installation require drilling into any walls or rewiring?
Due to the motorised nature of our awnings, our expert awning installers will need access to a power source within your home. The awning installer will drill a small hole through your wall so that the power lead can be inserted and then plugged into an internal power socket. Your installer will be able to answer any specific questions about this installation.

Cleaning Notes: Our awning fabrics are specially treated to help resist dirt, making them require no regular cleaning. However, should you need to, a soft-bristled brush will remove any dirt, while more stubborn marks can be gently spot-cleaned with soapy water. Please ensure it is safe for you to do so before you attempt to clean your awning.
